“FOR VOLVO, THE FUTURE LOOKS SLEEK, STYLISH, AND SEXY”

"The day before the LA International Auto Show media preview days, we took a small group of key journalists to our design center in Camarillo, CA. Officially called: Volvo Monitoring and Concept Center, ideas from VMCC helped to created our Environmental Concept Car that would later be the basis for moving from an 850 box car to what we have today. VMCC has also generated really great ideas about future transportation and vehicle ergonomics, like our Tandem car project and our HVAC “sitting man” air distribution icon.

During one of the presentations at this media event, along with what our future business model will be like and ideas about how to make Volvo grow, was about how we see a future SUV concept. Taking XC90, which is our oldest design, notice I didn’t say “dated?” XC90 still looks good today, so we’ll keep the concept but enhance its design. Stands to reason we should be showing our thoughts about what a future SUV might look like.

Before you head to BJ’s article, I’d caution you about how a concept is just that – a designer’s drawing of an idea. Below is what the initial XC90 concept looked like on December 27, 2000 and what the XC90 introduction actually was in 2002. So PLEASE do get excited about our next SUV, but take our concepts with a grain of Swedish salt, a couple of marinated herring strips and a shot of Aquavit."
